For the situation I am in, living with my son's family, God gave me his words on Psalm 24 and from James 4. First "cleanse your hands". When asked how, He answered: "Stop taking things into your own hands." After practicing those words, about a year later, He added, "purify your heart." Again I asked how, He answered: "Don't have a double mind about me. I am only Love." Whatever happens, Katie, as you write, 'all will be well.' Thank you so much.

Love your wisdom here, well His wisdom, with not taking things into our own hands and believing that He is and a rewarder of those who diligently seek him—that he is all love. Thank you for sharing here.

Beautiful.

I think that how people view Jesus (or “God” in general) depends on faith. To the believer “God is Love.” To the unbeliever, He is wrath and damnation. I think that people make their own Heaven or Hell. I don’t know for certain. That’s just what I think. And I pray, “Maranatha! Come quickly, Lord Jesus . . . and find us faithful, laboring for You in fields already white unto Harvest!”

I hear you on May he find us faithful when he comes back. I don’t think it’s believers find God is love unbelievers find hell. I know for me it’s been a long walk to learning how deeply and widely and broadly I’m loved by God. I was raised with too many hell fire sermons and theology that exacerbated my shame. It’s been a long walk. Slowly I have seen in scripture that God will bring life to everyone. We see this differently I know. If you’re ever interested in knowing more check out Brad Jersak’s Her Gates Will Never Be Shut. Glad to hear your voice her. Love you and Karen much.
